Comments Thread For: Mayweather Wants Fans To Pick - Khan or Maidana For 5/3

[shenmue]

Khan beat Maidana in a great fight 3 years ago at LWW,but It carries very little significance now. If that fight was recently than yes but Khan is the one who looks horrible since leaving roach and Ariza. Maidana since joining Garcia has won all 4 fights and won a title in a big fight. I don't want either fight and actually i want Khan vs Maidana 2 at 147.

If it is Khan i'm having problems getting interested because all i can remember is him beating the non famous Carlos Molina in a borefest, going life and death with past his best Diaz at catchweight and before that getting splattered in a few rounds by Garcia. Khan has no momentum, no recent big wins to sell the fight and NO wins at 147.

Floyd is just heaping more embarrassment on the sport. This fool is a disgrace, a ducking disgrace.

Apparently, Manny IS an option for May 3rd. Although he fights Tim Bradley in April.

You guys are real life losers.

Agree wholeheartedly these dudes are ******** ridiculous! Straight pathetic.

Quit mentioning Marquez as if to say there is nobody else out there.

How about Erislandy Lara? Even a Thurman, Porter, Andrade, Manny
I doubt I am alone in thinking Khan is one of the worst opponents out there.

P4P #1 fighting a guy who is 2/4 in his last 4 with both wins against lightweights, one who came mightily close to putting him away not to mention he has never fought at the weight and his last meaningful win was about 3-4 years ago against Judah who always falls apart on the big stage.

There's a difference between being the credible bside and being the frontman. Marquez was the credible bside several times and that made the PAC Marq fights so lucrative. Maidana is also a credible bside.

Aside from the laughable reference to khan as a superstar, Khan is not credible at this point. And even casuals know that.

Khan is a Superstar is his country, and well known in the U.S. Marcos isn't. And the whole credible B-side thing you are talking about has nothing to do with what was stated at first. You said that Marcos is just as famous (maybe not using that word) as Khan after the Broner fight. I'm saying that beating Broner doesn't give you a fan base as large as Broner's or even Khan's for this discussion.

Maidana is credible, but he won't bring as many seats as Khan, we've seen this with the un-credible chavez jr. Neither has a real shot at beating Floyd, but at least Khan brings a different look and more fans.

just checked the votes looks like khan is gettin most of the votes, due to him having so many followers

**** goes the theory that maidana is popular than kham

[dan_cov]

He is right though. Maybe if you didn't justify the bull**** and he knew he couldn't get away with it we'd see him in better fights against legitimate challengers/threats.

[FrankieBruno]

does maidana have any fans ? lmao

Andrade and Lara are worthless fights. No one knows who they are, and it will be at a weight that isn't Floyd's best. Porter gets one big win, in an extremely ugly fight and now he should be front runner? Hell Porter himself said he'd rather unify with Maidana first so he can show Floyd he deserves the fight. Lastly Thurman has not even won a title yet, and I can't think of one top 10 he has beaten.

I'm not saying Khan is the most deserving, when it comes to his record, but at this moment he is the best option, because he brings more fans than anyone you mentioned except Pac, and we know that fight is impossible.

Marcos is the WBA Champ at 147 coming off the biggest win of his career. How is this a cherrypick for Floyd? Pacquiao is never going to happen. GGG hasn't beaten anybody and is with HBO. Tim doesn't want the fight Garcia doesn't want the fight. Floyd is the PPV King, why would he fight Lara, Thurman or Porter?
